Hi Everyone,
 
Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 13th.  Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend. 
 
Also, Julie Labranche from the Rockingham Planning Commission would like to meet with us.  She has done some research on crafting a chapter on EE for Atkinson buildings and would like to discuss what she's found and get input from us before proceeding.  Could we collectively schedule a workshop meeting with her early in April in place of our regular meeting?
 
I would like to have everyone there, so that we are all on the same page.  The following are the nights that she CANNOT attend.  Please let me know your availability, keeping these restrictions in mind.
 
Wed 4/8, Wed 4/15, Thurs 4/16, and Tues 4/21

Recycling Competition

Hi Everyone,
 
Can I ask that someone volunteer to head up the effort on the recycling bin competition?  I have a big expo coming up in less than a month for work (New England wide) and I'm afraid I'll let something drop in the midst of deadlines for work.
 
Judy started the ball rolling with a rough draft of the competition description.  I have one Girl Scout troop that interested in participating and Michael M. was going to check on another.  Any takers?
 
Michelle
 
P.S.  I'll be at the Planning Board meeing tonight to talk about our efforts with Rockingham Planning Commission to write a section for the Master Plan on energy efficient town buildings (new construction and maintenance).

Talk with Atkinson Selectmen/AEE Committee

Jim,
 
I am on the Atkinson Energy Efficiency Committee with Michael.  Most importantly, I want to congratulate and thank you for your tremendous work to make our schools operate at such high levels of efficiency!
 
I entered one year of data for the Atkinson Town Hall into the EPA Performance Track and found the building was only operating in the 48the percentile nationally.  I was a little shocked to be honest, since the Town Hall has a geothermal system in place to reduce heating and cooling needs.  I plan to enter more data to see whether the transition to a new well/pump for the system could have lowered performance.  We are beginning work with the Rockingham Planning Commission and Clean Air Cool Planet to further evaluate town buildings and develop a "road map" for our energy efficiency planning.
 
I was hoping that you might consider coming to talk with the committee and Selectmen about how you've used the performance track data to become more energy efficient and also about your work the Jordan Institute.  Please let me know if you would be able to share some of your time and expertise with Atkinson.
 
Best wishes,
Michelle Veasey
Chair, Atkinson Energy Efficiency Committee

FW: recycling bin competition

Hi All,
 
Judy has put together the the start of the competition description.  I would add the text in blue.  I'm hoping everyone can help to further this.  Michael - any luck with the Boy Scouts?  Denise - could you help us with contacts for the Girls Scouts?  I would also suggest that we limit the competition to five groups.  We should also attach a scanned copy of the Waste Mgmt flyer to make sure that the group has the correct list of recyclable items.
 
Thanks,
 
Michelle

Hi Michelle,

Is this the sort of description we need?  Do we need more info/details at this point, or just this basic idea?

 

   

       The Atkinson Energy  Efficiency Committee would like to have a competition between a few youth groups to create Recycling Displays using the recycling bin as a base, and creatively displaying the types of waste that can be recycled at the curbside.  The aim is to increase recycling participation in the town through increased awareness and education.  The bin displays would be placed prominently at Town Hall (encouraging new residents to pick one up while they are there), the library, and the community center.  Each group would work together to create one display.  We are contacting local businesses to see if they would provide prizes for the winners.

 

A recycling bin can be picked up at the Selectmen's office at Town Hall.  Entries should be dropped off at the Town Hall between April 20th and April 22nd for judging.

 

I suspect before we send this out to any youth groups we'll need to add a few more details like where, when and how the competition would be judged, and probably a lot more that I can't think of at the moment.

 

Judy

March 09 Minutes

Hi Everyone,
 
Here's a draft of the minutes from last night's meeting.  Let me know if I forgot anything.

Re: Next meeting

The second Monday of the month is usually ok.  However, because of last Monday's snow, the event I have had on that night is moved to tonight.  So, I will not be able to make this meeting, today.

According to our new schedule (meeting on the second Monday of the month through April), we are scheduled to have a meeting on Monday, March 9th.  There is not room available at the Town Hall that night, so I'm going to schedule a room at the library.  We'll have to start at 7pm sharp, since we have to finish up by the time the library closes at 8pm.  Judy Wainwright is also interested in joining our committee!
 
The agenda will include the following: 

• RGGI funding opportunities and timelines

• Scheduling joint meeting with Planning Board and Rockingham Planning Commission member to develop Master Plan language

 
See you there!

Could you also talk about the potential of what it would take and cost for a FULL energy audit for the Fire Station? Dave Weymouth has been asking.

Energy Efficiency Stimulus Funding Technical Assistance - Plan, Monitor, and Report Results with ENERGY STAR^® Tools

 

Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, both State and Local governments will receive substantial funding to implement energy efficiency initiatives in their jurisdictions.  Join the U.S. EPA's ENERGY STAR team for this practical session that will provide you with the knowledge you need to leverage ENERGY STAR resources.  An interactive Webinar will be held on Thursday, March 12 from 1:00-2:30 pm where you will learn:

 

1) Opportunities in existing buildings for quick reductions in energy use.

 

2) How EPA's Portfolio Manager (building energy tracking system) can be used to quickly and easily prioritize energy efficiency projects in buildings, measure progress, and verify/report results.

 

3)  How you can leverage the ENERGY STAR program to help create a self-renewing energy management program for the long term.

 

Guest speakers from state and local ENERGY STAR partners will highlight ways they have used EPA's Portfolio Manager as the energy tracking tool for public buildings as well as a platform for private sector building energy efficiency initiatives.

 

Speakers for this session will include:

•       Mike Zatz, Chief of the ENERGY STAR Market Sectors Group, U.S. EPA, will provide an overview of the tools and resources available through ENERGY STAR.

•       Eric Coffman, Senior Energy Planner for Montgomery County, MD, will describe how the County is using Portfolio Manager to identify the buildings with the greatest opportunity for improvements (invited).

•       Julien Gaudion from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will explain how Portfolio Manager is being used to track and report on the results of small business energy efficiency grants disbursed by the commonwealth.

 

Participants will need to register for this Webinar.  To register, please complete the following steps: 

•       Visit https://energystar.webex.com/energystar and click on the session titled “Make the Most of Your Energy Efficiency Stimulus Funding - Plan, Monitor, and Report Results with ENERGY STAR Tools” under “Training Center.”

•       Click on the link for “Registration.”

•       Complete the contact information on the next page.

•       Save the confirmation e-mail (sent by messenger@webex.com) with the information needed to participate in the presentation, which will be sent to the e-mail address you have specified.  Please check your spam e-mail filter if the message does not appear in your inbox.
